I agree that if a sub agent could work then handoff is the wrong skill. These docs on the site agree too: > What it buys is portability, not compression. That makes the skill narrower than it sounds. You need a file only when the work ha

What a great seminar, that was. I really appreciated his advice on writing recommendation letters, too: the expectation is shifted wildly towards effusive. If you are plainly complimentary, it can come off as a secret warning that you don&#

Fascinating. Thanks for the clue. It's the most complete blank for me of all the tests. I looked up the reference image, but still cannot see it in figure 2G. I can't even guess at where the eyes/nose/mouth are in the cl

It seems that Aphantasia does not globally bin into two groups, since I don't fit in either. By my rough count of Figure 2 tests, where Derek is at 0 to Loren at 6 (ignoring F), I have about 3.5 atypical responses. My experience with F

I don't buy that the reversion to income tax should happen on high percentage gains if the absolute gains are low. I think the tax could be made even more progressive. Something like: The first $500k of capital gains get current cap ga

Based on context, you seem to be referring to gas when you say 12 million "ether gwei" (the block limit being 12 million gas, lately). But gas is its own unit, not measured in ether (or in wei, the smallest atomic unit of ether).

Yeah, digital-only NFTs will likely be a fad. I'll be interested again when the trend moves toward deeds. A title for a physical work could have staying power. Even potentially an iou from an artist for a one of a kind (physical) piece

Tail call optimization is appealing. Sometimes recursion is the cleanest implementation, but call depth is not known up front.

RIP Pat Winston - he infuriated me the most when he said something so obviously true and which I wanted to be false. One example: "No one will ever read your paper in entirety, so write for the skimmers." As much as I loved his te

The most natural follow-up to currencies on a blockchain are assets, like a ticket to a concert, shares in a company, or a deed to a car. Once more assets are represented this way, many kinds of applications would be valuable. One simple an

Agreed, in most situations. One counter example: If your processes in sum tend to A) access many disk locations, at large total disk space B) hold a lot of underused data in ram This isn't totally impossible. Maybe an Ethereum node wit

That's terrible news. I was undergrad there in mid 2000s, and perceived that some, but not all, of these issues had improved. Being a man, and less attentive to the issues at the time, it doesn't surprise me that I missed it. It c

It depends on the context. Ethereum is a platform that uses a blockchain to build and record consensus. Conceptually, the blockchain is a technology underpinning each cryptocurrency. Across the many cryptocurrencies in use, there are many b

You've nailed it. In this case, the call stack depth would halt you before TheDAO runs out of funds, though. So you end up with some multiple, say 30x, where you can put in 1 ether and drain 30 ether. There is about a month lockup peri

While I prefer non-upgradable contracts for the same reason, there are mechanisms to reach some middle ground, like: 1) a significant delay between the announcement of an upgrade and the actual upgrade (enforced by the blockchain) 2) a mech
